Alphabet butter cookies

Alph RECIPES BUTTER COOKIES

Have a little bit of fun and change it up with these easy to make melt-in-the-mouth butter cookies. Give your biscuits a fun element by using alphabet letters, the kids will love it. This is also a great gift idea.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

(Only 6 ingredients)

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, partly melted 2 tsp vanilla extract ⁄ cup (93g) icing sugar 1⁄ cups (187g) cornflour 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour ⁄ tsp salt

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Preheat the oven to 170C Line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, and sugar until creamy and combined. Add the cornflour, flour, and salt, and mix to form a smooth, soft dough.

Roll the dough, press your letter shapes to cut your letters. Place the cut out letters onto a prepared baking tray. Freeze until solid - about 10 - 20 minutes.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until firm and just starting to colour around the edges (they will still be very pale). Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

MAKE A GIFT

This is a great idea to place these cookies in a glass jar. Cut a pretty piece fabric bigger than the lid and place ontop of it, tie with a pretty ribbon or paint the lid with coloured chalk paint or simply use a paper doily.

Enjoy!
